Posts paging [next] value eventually returns a empty array that should be populated

Lets take a simple page like dominos. When I run a query like https://graph.facebook.com/dominos/posts?limit=200&access_token=[ANY OLD ACCESS TOKEN], it gives me the first page of post data. Then I go to the bottom and get next, after the 5th or 6th page of next values, I get an empty array. But when I go on dominos facebook page, they have more data past the last date of the last post on the last page that contained data.

I know that to access private data you need a specific access token, but this data is all public, and I know it is because I do not have to be logged in to see it.

To recreate this:

  1. In browser https://graph.facebook.com/dominos/posts?limit=200

  2. Go to bottom of page and get the next url

  3. Continue doing #2 until you get to page #5 or #6 and you will get an empty data array preventing you from paging any further.

Any help or insights would be awesome.

[edit 04-20-2012] Okay some more info:

I think this only relates to posts. When I do this: https://graph.facebook.com/dominos/tagged?access_token=[anaccesstoken]&until=1262412000 I get back a page of results.

when I do this: https://graph.facebook.com/dominos/posts?access_token=[anaccesstoken]&until=1262412000 I do not. But they are obviously posts there.

I checked the feed also: https://graph.facebook.com/dominos/feed?access_token=[anaccesstoken]&until=1262412000.

There are a bunch of user tagged there but no Domino's page posts.

Pls read the article

the maximum number of results we will fetch before running the visibility checks is 5,000

1262412000 is the day in Jan 2010, 2 years ago. the most probable is that you have more than 5,000 posts in the past 2 years, so you can not fetch more than 5,000 posts.

I have also tried https://graph.facebook.com/dominos/posts?limit=200&access_token=[anaccesstoken]&until=1322400000, I could get the data. So until parameter works well.
